Quintessence

Note : I don't own anything !!
Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Embers trapped in time
The night is his companion
And solitude his guide
A blonde maiden his desire
With the ancient one's strength
His power hidden until his choice is proven
His power is good , and his will is great
His strength shines through his soul
And power shines just before the Dark Lord second reign
Through this world he'll stumble
So many time's betrayed
Trying to find an honest word to fight
The truth enslaved
He'll speak to you in riddles
And he'll speak to you in rhymes
From the Valley of the Sun he will shine.
Gandalf read the prophecy once more , drinking every
word in , memorizing it . Taking one last inhale of his pipe
, he walked away into Elrond's chamber . There he found the ancient elf
sitting in his chair , deep in thought .
" I hope I am not interrupting anything? " asked
Gandalf.
" No , your not , what is it ?" asked Elrond .
" Something very pressing, my Lord ."
" Well go on.
Handing over the old parchment to Elrond , Gandalf
took out his pipe again , out of nervous habit he lit it again and took a long
intake of the comforting weed . He watched as Elronds
brow furrowed as he read , his ancient eyes widened at a certain point which
Gandalf was sure that Elrond was at the point that had the most disturbing
message throughout the whole prophecy.
" It speaks of a second return " Elrond said simply
"Indeed my lord , but we have always known that , I mean you have felt a strong
presence coming from the east for some time now . This must come as no shock to
any one of us ." Answered Gandalf
" But this warrior and this maiden , it says that they
are not of this world . But never in all my years of life have I heard of
anyone coming from a different world , surely it means a different land , not a
totally different world ,cause to simple put it, there is none . "
" I know my lord , it confuses me too . But we should
be finding out sooner or later right ? The ring is no
where to be found , and until we do , we are at the
mercy of who ever has it now . Lets just hope it's in the right hand's . But ,I am going to check
on the ring Master Bilbo has had in his possession for these many years .
Perhaps that the one , and if It is then that's an
encouraging thing "
" You really do have faith in those halfling's ,don't
you ? "Said Elrond with a small smile.
" I do . I found out that you can study and know a
hobbit for many , many years and yet they can still
surprise you . They do have tremendous heart , and
with all the terrible things that go on in Middle Earth , I'm glad that we
soul's like them left ."replied Gandalf with a lazy
grin on his face .
" Well after you leave the shire , please be sure you
come by Rivendell so we can discuss this matter ."
" Of course . I best get going , I have a party to go
to you know . " Said Gandalf , rising from his chair
putting on his cloak and his hat .
" Oh really? Who ? " asked Elrond
" Bilbo's , he's turing one hundred and elevendy . God only knows how he stays so young looking at
that age , but I suspect it has something to do with a
certain ring . "
" Yes please see to that matter Gandalf "
" No worries master elf , I always keep my promises "and with that he turned
and left .
Elrond eyes were glued to the scene outside his window. The trees were gently
swaying in the soft rivendell breeze
, causing
some of the leaves to fall to the ground. One line from the prophesy kept
repeating in his head
"His power shines through just before the dark lord second reign "
That line scared him the most. Out of everything these ancient eyes saw over
his many years , nothing scared this elf more than a
simple line stating that the dark lord will have a second reign .
But then again , it did speak of a warrior , a savior
. Maybe he shouldn't fret to much , Gandalf wasn't
after all . With one last sip from his goblet , Elrond rose from his chair and
left the room , leaving the ancient prophesy alone gently falling off the table
and softly landing under the chair next to it, hidden from view.
************ Couple of weeks later in the shire **********************************************
"Keep it close , keep it safe " Gandalf said with a
menacing look in his eyes .
"Where shall Sam and I meet you ? " Asked Frodo , fear clearly evident in his voice .
" In Bree , at an inn called
the prancing pony . Don't use you're real name , go by
the name Underhiill , you understand? " receiving a nod from Frodo , Gandalf quickly mounted his
horse and galloped off leaving two very nervous Hobbits .
Frodo and Sam traveled about two days before they met Merry and Pippin along
the way. And since Frodo did not know the way to Bree
and Merry did , he decided to take merry along with
him until they reached Bree . Merry and Pippin were
willing to come after all .
Frodo kept his eye's open for any signs of danger or what not
. But soon he had grown tired of his awareness and stopped keeping his
eye's open for a possible threat . He hadn't seen a
sign of danger yet so he soon got lazy .
But soon he felt a presence in the air , it was cold , and he could feel the
ring being drawn to it .He ignored it , even though the feeling got stronger
.He began to become aware again , which was good , seeing as the ring seemed to
be having a will of it's own lately .
One day , they were walking along the road ,even
though Gandalf stressed that they should stay off it , Frodo felt the rings
will power grow even stronger than before , and at that he knew that something
wasn't right .
" Off the road ! " Frodo yelled
"What ?" asked Pip
" Get off the road !"
And at hearing the urgency in his voice , they
listened , running underneath a tree. Merry was just about to ask why they were
hiding , when his question was answered . The sound of
hooves could be heard above them causing every one to freeze
. The earth even seemed to know that this rider was no ordinary passer by , because soon all the little critter's from the earth
came crawling out from the soil , climbing and biting the Hobbits . But no one
could feel the presence more than frodo . It seemed that the ring was working it's will , because frodo had a such a
strong desire to put the ring on at that very moment . Luckily Sam was there to
stop him . Merry threw his bag to try and divert the
Black riders attention away from the foursome .
Soon the black rider left , to everyones
relief .
" What was that ? " asked Pippin
" I don't know but – " Frodo's voice was drowned out by a loud thunder and
shriek . Everything went black , causing them to panic
, but just as fast It had came , it was gone . All that was left in its wake
was two blonde strangers laying on the ground .
